Movies, Books, and Video Games Reimagined As Dr. Seuss Art

We’ve pointed you towards the ingenious work of Dr. Seuss-loving artist DrFaustusAU on a couple of previous occasions, but he’s simply outdone himself with his new Seuss-inspired take on The Evil Dead, titled The Evil Dead Are in My Shed! We were so taken by this one, in fact, that we started poking around the “Seussian Gallery” on his DeviantART site and found several additional mash-ups of Seuss and films, books, and video games. Check out our favorites after the jump. … Read More

The Best Punchlines in Film

A couple of weeks back, we perused the entirety of film history and pulled out our very favorite break-up lines — the meanest, the sharpest, and the funniest. For a follow-up, we decided to focus on the latter: selecting some of the best punchlines ever uttered in movies. By definition, a punchline isn’t just a funny bit of dialogue or an amusingly awkward moment: it’s the payoff to a setup, whether in situation or dialogue, and thus must be carefully teed up and smoothly executed. We think these 25 examples do just that, with panache. … Read More

Muppets Take Spring Break and Winter Is Coming to America in Our Exclusive Pop Culture Mash-up Posters

Here at Flavorwire, we love us some illustrated movie posters. So, we decided to make a handful of our own — except our chosen films don’t actually exist outside of our daydreams. To spice things up, we took a few of our favorite pop culture things and mashed them up with other pop culture things to create an illustrated series of bizarre pop culture mash-up… Read More

10 Politicians and Their Fictional Pop Culture Doppelgängers

Sunday night, viewers of History’s hit miniseries The Bible (haven’t read the book; does the show work as a standalone?) were given their first look at Satan — and several immediately took to Twitter, pointing out what they saw as a marked resemblance to the President. Good ol’ Glenn Beck led the way, tweeting “Anyone else think the Devil in #TheBible Sunday on HIstory (sic) Channel looks exactly like That Guy?” (Beck apparently uses “That Guy” as a substitute for Obama, whose name he refuses to say, because Glenn Beck is a child.) Though the show’s producers have dismissed the connection, we’ve gotta say — he’s kind of a dead ringer. On the other hand, politicians are so ubiquitous that it’s pretty easy to find resemblances in pop culture. Don’t believe us? Here’s a few more examples. … Read More

Inventive Artwork Inspired by New York Movies

Brooklyn’s Bottleneck Gallery opens a new exhibit tomorrow that’s rather close to our hearts: The Popular Face of New York, in which artist Raid71 (aka Chris Thornley) reinterprets classic NYC scenes from movies, as well as paying tribute to those who create them. The results are clever, inspired, and frequently funny. Check out some of our favorite pieces below, and if you’re in New York, visit the show in person through Friday, March 29; online sales begin Saturday, March 16 at approximately noon EDT. … Read More

Behold: ‘Ghostbusters’ Headquarters in LEGO Form

We’ve gone to some pretty elaborate lengths in the name of fandom around here, but even we’re agog over the efforts of LEGO artist and Ghostbusters enthusiast Orion Pax, who spent two months studying the film, its sequel, and its animated series to create the ultimate replica of Venkman, Stantz, Spengler, and Zeddmore’s HQ. Pax went room by room and prop by prop, recreating the Ghostbusters’ New York firehouse home in painstaking detail; check out the jaw-dropping photos after the jump. … Read More

The Film Lover’s Guide to Bad Romance

Movies – for better or worse – have set up a lot of standards for what qualifies as romantic, and taught us tricks here and there on how to pull it off ourselves. As much as films have provided positive examples to help demonstrate how to be romantic, there’s also a lot to be learned from its negative examples. After all, as life is prone to mercilessly teaching us, sometimes there are more valuable lessons to be found in doing the wrong thing instead of the right thing. With that in mind, we’ve equally mercilessly gathered together a list of movies that show characters doing all the wrong things. Their helpful demonstrations of ways not to be romantic serve as a guide to what you probably shouldn’t do whilst engaging in the grand affairs of the heart. … Read More

Will Wonders Never Cease: New 'Ghostbusters' Filming Next Summer

Let’s all admit that we never thought the new Ghostbusters movie would actually happen. We assumed Dan Aykroyd would just keep throwing little teasers into interviews about less interesting projects and Bill Murray would continue muttering about how uninterested he is in the whole thing until the film press just gave up and declared a… Read More
